President Wife is Pretty and Cool Chapter 378 – The Reason for Disappearance

Chapter 378 The Reason for Disappearance

“Is this chicken alright? I remember that chicken drumsticks were your favourite food in the past. Have a taste!”

Old Mrs. Mo struggled to get up, grabbing a chicken drumstick from afar for Mo Shengli.

Mo Shengli nodded. He could try it. He stretched out his hand to pick up the drumstick. Mo Jinrong saw the tattoo on his hand at a glance, but half of it was covered by a ring and there were several distinct scars on his hand.

The past wounds seemed to be very deep and there were deep calluses between his thumb and index finger. These calluses were either hands that often used knives or, as he had said, calluses that were often worn with rope.

“Uncle, your hand?”

Mo Shengli hurriedly retracted his hand. “I accidentally scratched it while fishing. Back then, there wasn’t any medicine, so I casually smeared some Chinese herbs on it and it left several scars.”

“Poor child, what have you been doing all these years?” Old Mrs. Mo asked curiously. Seeing that he was dressed in luxury brands, his business must be booming.

“I’m a stock investor abroad and have made a lot of money over the years. I have enough to support myself,” Mo Shengli said humbly.

“Are you married? Do you have children?” Old Mrs. Mo asked again.

“Grandma! You’re asking too many questions,” Mo Jinrong said.

“It doesn’t matter, who would dare to marry me with my leg like this? There were many side effects back then and now, I have to go to the hospital for a follow-up every half a year. I won’t bring harm to others,” Mo Shengli said.

Old Mrs. Mo nodded, suddenly remembering something “Shengli, you suddenly came back. Just nice, Changwen’s position is empty. Why don’t you go to the company and take over Changwen’s position? He won’t be coming back anyway.”

Old Mrs. Mo was upset.

“I have heard about Changwen. He is really silly. Mom, your life is really tough. Your two sons…”

Mo Shengli stopped midway, seeming to deliberate.

Old Mrs. Mo didn’t notice it, she was just a little upset.

“It’s my fault for not educating him well. When he was young, he was weak and sickly. I was biased against him and ignored your feelings. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t worth it.”

Mo Jinrong had been quietly observing Mo Shengli and the corner of his mouth lifted occasionally, as though he was pleased.

“Mom, it’s my fault for bringing this up. I heard that the company was robbed recently. Have you found the items?” Mo Shengli asked deliberately.

“No, I’m just worried that something bad will happen. There are many people online who are offering high prices for confidential information, but there hasn’t been any news yet. I’m just afraid that they are serious. I wonder which group of powerful thieves could break through the highest defense so easily.”

Old Mrs. Mo was worried.

“Mom, don’t worry. If I enter the company, I will definitely get it back. Jinrong, you were able to bring the company to the top three in just a few short years. You’re really not simple. When I was young, I knew you would make a fortune, but I didn’t expect you to grow up to be such a businessman.

Your father will be very happy when he finds out,” Mo Shengli said. “Uncle! You said that you were in a car accident. May I know which hospital you visit? I want to take you for another checkup to ensure your health.”

Mo Jinrong wanted to see if Mo Shengli was lying. Mo Shengli was slightly taken aback.

“It’s alright, I just did a full-body checkup before coming over and everything is normal.”

“Alright, I will definitely let Uncle familiarize himself with the company’s business and procedures. Uncle Changwen’s things were left behind. I hope you will be able to do something beneficial for the Mo Corporation.” Mo Jinrong reminded him warningly.

“Of course.”

Mo Shengli looked around nostalgically. Everything was the same, but there was something different.

“This place is the same as before, things have remained the same but people have changed. It’s a little bleak now.”

Old Mrs. Mo looked around and said, “Ying’er passed away many years ago and the villa lost some vitality. I remember that she loved to play with the flowers and plants. Now, the flowers are blooming so luxuriously, but no one is here to admire them.”

Old Mrs. Mo was anguished.

Mo Shengli had more to say when Lan Anran walked over from behind with a smile.

“Is this the uncle that disappeared a long time

ago?”

Everyone turned to look at her.

“Anran, hurry!”

Old Mrs. Mo was very happy to see Lan Anran. She smiled and waved at Lan Anran.

“This is Jinrong’s uncle, Shengli, who just returned today. This is Jinrong’s wife, Lan Anran. She has a pretty face, right?” Old Mrs. Mo was overjoyed, sweeping away the gloominess from before. “Anran! What a good name. I have long heard that Jinrong’s wife is a beauty. It seems to be so after seeing it in real life,” Mo Shengli said.

“Uncle, you flatter me. I heard that you were coming back today, so I prepared a small gift. I hope you will accept it.”

Lan Anran prepared a box that was over a meter long. She let someone hold it and opened it personally.

There was a wood carving of a Guanyin statue inside.

She had checked his information long ago and it seemed to have been deliberately released. Surprisingly, it said that he liked wood carvings, so she paired this gift with his interests and got someone to make a large ornament.

Mo Shengli was startled when he saw this. He glanced at Lan Anran and smiled.

“How did you know I liked this thing?”

He stood up and held the gift with both hands, looking very respectful.

“I knew that you were coming. I’m very sorry that I looked up your information online, but I learned that you loved wood carving from doing so, so I got someone to carve this. I hope you will like it. When I saw the pattern of the eagle’s beak on the walking stick, I immediately knew mine was cheap in comparison.”

Lan Anran smiled. She saw the walking stick the moment she entered.

The person who carved it must be a master. The eagle head was vivid and there was a coating of sebum on it, indicating that it had been used for a long time.

“I like it, I like it very much! I’ll get someone to place it inside,” Mo Shengli said.

Old Mrs. Mo immediately had his things sent to his room. She had picked the best room for Mo Shengli.

“That little girl is quick-witted and knows how to handle things. She really catches your attention,” Mo Shengli said.

“Uncle, are you going to work in the company?” Lan Anran sat down and asked.

“I’ve told them that Shengli will take over Changwen’s position. Anyways, no one has taken over that position ever since it was empty.”

Old Mrs. Mo was overjoyed. On one side was her son, and on the other side was her granddaughter-in-law. “Grandma! We haven’t gotten the documents back, but we’re adding a newbie? Is that really appropriate?”

Lan Anran felt uncomfortable. Wasn’t this giving Mo Shengli a chance?

Mo Jinrong didn’t think it mattered. With him watching, Mo Shengli probably wouldn’t do anything beyond his tolerance level. He could also monitor him.

“It’s fine. Uncle is a stock investor overseas and Uncle Changwen used to be in charge of the company’s finance. There isn’t a conflict.”

In the past, in order to weaken Mo Changwen’s authority, Mo Jinrong had given him the right to manage the company’s shares and become Mo Jinrong’s representative. However, this was just an empty title, it wasn’t real and Mo Jinrong was in the company all year round, so Mo Changwen didn’t have a chance to show his rights.
